Hi:hat2:

Writing your first CV can feel daunting, but I'll help break it down into sections:

Essential CV Sections:

Contact Information - Your name, phone, email, and location

Personal Statement - A brief overview of your skills and career goals (2-3 sentences)

Education - List your qualifications, starting with the most recent

Work Experience - Include part-time jobs, volunteering, or work placements

Skills - Highlight relevant abilities (e.g., computer skills, languages)

Top Tips:

Keep it to 1-2 pages

Use clear, professional formatting

Proofread carefully

Tailor it to each job application

For free CV templates and examples, check out:

National Careers Service (UK)

Indeed.com

These sites offer great templates and CV writing guides that are easily accessible and more importantly, they're free:yeah:
